As a part of Control's sixth anniversary, Remedy commissioned French artist, Krystine, for a special art piece to commemorate the milestone.
The self-taught artist, has been filling out feeds with gorgeous portraits since 2022, capturing the atmosphere of the adventure perfectly in delicate charcoal. For her latest piece, Krystine brings a new take to the Control Ultimate Edition artwork, with a portrait of Jesse above a scene of her exploring The Oldest House. With the Director's eyes closed, the piece seems to take on a more mystical feel, complementing Jesse's superhuman powers. Her use of charcoal brings out the incredible use of light and shadow in the work,
Talking about the experience on Twitter, Krystine writes, "Being commissioned by @remedygames as a lifelong fan is such a special feeling [emotional emoji] thank you for the trust and I was so happy to collaborate with you to celebrate the 6 years of Control! Everyone, I hope you like the artwork."
The piece has been shared on Remedy's social media channels, Control's website, and the game's landing page on PlayStation. The piece was also given a shoutout by the developers on their anniversary livestream.
Speaking to 505Games back in 2023, Krystine talks about her love of the game, stating, "Control is just another excellent video game! Remedy Entertainment’s games are so unique and special! When Control was announced, I knew I would play it the first day it was released. I was not disappointed! The gameplay is amazing especially if you like shooters with a touch of supernatural. The graphics and attention to the details simply leaves you speechless. And Jesse! One of my favorite female characters. Can’t wait for Control 2!"
